story
16 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe story of "Goblin Conqueror" is described as entertaining yet corny, featuring amusing moments and well-executed serious parts. However, many players found the narrative hindered by random encounters that do not advance the plot or provide experience, leading to a sense of pointlessness in gameplay. While the main character is appreciated, the overall progression and depth of the story could have been improved, particularly through more engaging gameplay elements.
“The more serious parts of the story were well written and executed competently.”
“Story is pretty good, and I really like the main character.”
“Story is kind of corny, but it had its amusing moments.”
“I wanted to like Goblin Conqueror, but I just couldn't. Random encounters that don't actually move the story forward and, even worse, don't get you XP since your character is max level, so overall it's just pointless to even do those random encounters; you might as well run away.”
“And that's where my praises stop. Honestly, even with the story not taking itself too seriously, I personally couldn't be bothered to even try. There's nothing really that makes up the gameplay other than searching and fighting—no puzzles, no interesting riddles, or anything else.”
“Usually, I get bored with the storyline for these sorts of games since it generally feels forced.”
